Definitions

  • the invention relates to a breast prosthesis for wearing in one Bra or the like, with a prosthetic body, the a front with the shape of a natural breast, a recessed back and one closed line has the following edge of the prosthesis on which the Front and back of the prosthetic body respectively ends, the prosthesis body is a soft-elastic silicone rubber compound has in a bag of two lengthways of the edge of the prosthesis tightly connected, elastic stretchable plastic films is enclosed free of voids.
  • Such a breast prosthesis was e.g. in the European Patent application with publication number 0 657 148 A1 shown and described.
  • This breast prosthesis is in the rear recess of the prosthesis body one or several stiffening ribs are provided, when kept upright the prosthesis wearer vertically and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body get lost and have the function of To prevent the prosthesis body from standing upright Slump prosthesis under the effect of gravity.
  • the stiffening ribs are said to be the Ensure dimensional stability of the prosthesis when the wearer in an upright position.
  • the stiffening ribs The well-known breast prosthesis also has a shape-retaining effect on the prosthesis body in the prosthetic wearer's lying position because they prevent the prosthetic body under the effect of gravity when the prosthesis wearer is lying down stretches horizontally.
  • Some prosthesis wearers feel it is unnatural if the prosthesis is the same Has a shape when lying down as well as when standing. More specifically, complain these prosthesis wearers that this prosthesis is not appropriate the natural conditions when lying slightly flatter than in an upright position.
  • very soft breast tissue should be replaced as it is in older ones Patient is often seen as a disadvantage that the prosthesis is lying unnaturally steep from the body when lying down Carrier sticking out.
  • the object of the invention is according to the characterizing Part of claim 1 solved in that the recess at least one that runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the wearer's body Notch has that of opposing walls an upper and a lower part of the prosthesis body and a middle, the upper part with the lower part flexible connecting section is limited, which is the upper part if the wearer is kept upright, by the effect gravity controlled relative to the lower part sag, the controlled sag of the upper part causes an elastic bending deformation of the central section and by planting at least a part of the opposite Walls of the notch is limited.
  • the prosthesis according to the invention takes the lying position Prosthesis wearer in a relatively elongated flat shape.
  • the upper part of the prosthesis body sags under the effect of gravity so far down until at least part of the opposite walls the notch sit on top of each other.
  • the prosthesis then has a shape, that of the shape corresponds to a natural breast made of very soft breast tissue.
  • the cup is the bra filled in very well, so that an optimal adjustment of the prosthesis the shape of the cup of a given one Bra is achieved.
  • the flexible connection between the upper and lower part of the prosthetic body also leads to an excellent vibration behavior of the prosthesis, the again the vibration behavior of a natural breast very soft fabric.
  • the alternating stretching and sagging of the prosthesis does not mediate while running just a natural vibration behavior, it promotes also the ventilation of the back of the prosthesis, because the alternating encounter of the opposing ones Walls of the notch and widening of the notch causes one alternately sucking and pumping air between the back the prosthesis and the wearer's body.
  • the prosthesis stretches in horizontal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body Carrier, this stretching by the weight of the Prosthesis, which now acts vertically on the wearer's body, and that generated by the deformation of the central portion Restoring force is effected.
  • a consequence of this stretching of the The prosthesis in the lying position of the wearer is the flattening the prosthesis, so that now also in the lying position of the wearer the shape of the prosthesis to the shape of a natural breast, the consists of very soft breast tissue, is adapted.
  • the middle one, flexible section of the upper part of the prosthetic body connects to the lower part of the prosthetic body can be compared to a film hinge that has an opening and closing
  • the notch is allowed to collapse if the wearer between Lying down and upright posture changes or changes quickly moved.
  • the prosthesis according to the invention continues to stand out by a light weight, so that the prosthesis extremely is comfortable to wear.
  • the notch can be in place a straight course in the undeformed state an arcuate Have course of the opposite walls the notch forces itself in when the top part sags Progressively align the longitudinal direction of the notch. Thereby the sagging of the upper part of the prosthetic body more cushioned than a prosthesis where the notch has a straight course. If you compare the middle section of the prosthesis body with a hinge, that's how it works Self-locking hinge due to the curved shape of the notch. The ability of the prosthesis to change shape can be changed by a notch design that deviates from the straight line influenced and thus to the individual needs of a Prosthetic wearer to be adjusted.
  • the length of the notch also has an influence on the shape changing capacity the prosthesis. Has been particularly advantageous proved when the notch, seen in the longitudinal direction, in the The distance in front of the edge of the prosthesis ends. With such a length The notch prevents the lateral foothills of the Bend the prosthesis too much if the prosthesis sags Condition.
  • the ability of the prosthesis to change shape can also be determined by the Number of transverse notches can be controlled.
  • the depression can be more than one transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body have running notch related to the body's longitudinal axis the wearer, spaced one above the other are.
  • there are then several Hinges connected in series all of which have an elastic bending deformation of the prosthesis body due to gravity allow the wearer to lie down and in an upright position. The In such a case, total bending deformation is more than distributed a hinge.
